This have nothing to do with fighting gentrification, else they wouldn't say that it is too "white", they want to fight native british culture and perpetuate their foreign and Muslim enclaves.

He talks about the importance of "preserving" the community and its history but acts if Brick Lane didnt have a community or history before the 1970's. This "documentary" is just upset that Brick Lane is becoming less Asian.

Imagine complaining about the threat of English culture in England this is the problem with multiculturalism because we are expected to tolerate culture that doesn't tolerate us this is the result of current immigration policy, as a nation we should enforce integration and denie any immigrant who does not want to assimilate with British culture and any refugees who don't want to integrate are clearly not genuine refugees we don't need to be helping ungrateful people would you keep helping someone you know if they spat in your face no I don't think so

This is a culture issue it was the man in the video that mentioned the threat of white people (in England) hahaha this is multiculturalism at its finest this is why we should enforce integration so we don't end up with opposing cultures creating problems it's got nothing to do with race it's people like you who are obsessed with race there is no problem with multi ethnic communities but multicultural communities are a failure it's an unsustainable model clearly and the same people who complain about gentrification would call me racist if I was to talk about islamification but it's basically the same argument the difference is this is england so English culture is priority end of story go cry to someone else

Great documentary that highlights the history of the area, and shines a light on the community's opinions. As a professional looking for a better opportunity, I moved to London 3 years ago. And in my experience, I have absolutely zero background about the social challenges that London as a whole faces, especially how gentrification has a strong ethnic and racial facet based on what I understand here. From my perspective, brick lane is generally seeing increased demand from people coming with higher spending capacity irrespective of race or ethnicity . To many people who move there, the question about race doesn't even come to mind - perhaps it is simply because of the rush of young professionals and students looking to buy/rent in a location closer to central London where they work, and with good transport links. This in turn makes it an attractive target for investors to build businesses and "upscale" the area. I wish you explored more this side of gentrification, and looked at where the new residents come from and why they chose brick lane.

The problem is that native brits lack a spine and rather than face the problems caused by historical attitudes of *feudalism* become cowards and decide to racialise their problems instead. The problem has always been land ownership to the detriment of common folk. It's replete throughout English history and the native English experience.

Great work, and something people need to know about lots of London - it feels almost like a clock with a tick list for gentrification. Which suburb is next to be bulldozed and turned into more flats and boring high street coffee shops and money for investors? I hope Brick Lane and many other parts of the city can be retained and kept for the people who make those communities.
